उत्तर
‘Two Geniuses’
The story tells about Einstein’s great sense of humor. There was a young man, by the name of Einstein, with a growing reputation. He was invited by universities to explain his theories. A man called Hans was always his driver on these trips. Hans often told Einstein that it was a pleasure to drive a genius like him.
One evening, on their way to a remote university, Einstein told Hans that he wished he had not given his lecture that night. He said that he was very tired. But he did not want to let his audience down.
Hans said that he didn’t need to do so. Hans said that they would change places and we would give the lecture for him. Hans had listened to it a dozen times. He didn’t understand it but knew it by heart. More over no one knew him at the university. Hans was sure that no one would find it. Eventually, Einstein agreed with Hans. But Einstein told Hans not to try to answer any questions, whatever he did.
They changed places, and at the university, Hans was greeted and led to the platform in a great hall crowded with professors and students. Einstein joined the audience and listened to Hans give his lecture perfectly and joined in the applause at the end.
Hans was about to get off the platform. Before that, a professor shouted from the audience. He wanted to ask a question. He said that it was very difficult but he requested him to answer it. Then he asked the very hard question for which Hans had no answer. He didn’t understand what he was talking about.
Einstein thought that they were in trouble. But Hans just laughed and said that, wasn’t a difficult question. Hans said that it was so easy and even his driver knew how to answer it. Hans asked Einstein to stand up. Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly. They left the university, with Einstein driving the car. A little later, Hans offered to take over him. Einstein laughed and told no to his friend. He said that it was his pleasure to drive a genius like him (Hans).
